                                  Dear Reader,

                                                                                                   Lighting the way to safe work
                              Life requires light

                         Light is the thing that we see first when we are born into this world.
                       Lighting creates atmosphere and influences our feelings. Good lighting
                     brings safety and provides visibility for our work.

                  At the end of March 2009, almost 4,000 cities worldwide switched off lights
               for an hour, along with the World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour campaign. In spite
              of this, lights cannot be dimmed for work. Likewise, light is an essential element
           in art and colors. Impressionists, or painters of light, were the revolutionaries of
         art while rejecting traditional rules and techniques in their paintings.

       For almost twenty years, Centaurea has endeavored to innovate portable work
      lights and integrate the latest technical solutions in them. Portable lights designed
    for the defense industry are the foundation of our CentaurSlam® product family. This
    background of demanding customers and challenging conditions ensures that our
   products are durable and reliable in most operational environments.

 Due to the tightening safety-at-work regulations and the
 enforcement of the ATEX directive, Centaurea has committed
to generating safe lighting solutions particularly for potentially
hazardous workplaces. Our portfolio includes dozens of basic
products, which can all be tailored to various individual customer
specifications.

Light enables the miracle of growth. You are now holding
Centaurea’s new product catalog, which I hope will be of help
when seeking and selecting the right CentaurSlam® lighting
solutions for your needs.

 Centaurea’s workforce, our expert team of ‘light artists’, will
  be pleased to assist you in all matters concerning portable
   lighting. Together with the best professionals in the lighting
   sector, we are dedicated to facilitating safe illumination for
    work and permitting the continuous miracle of growth on the
     globe.

         With all our best wishes for safety at work,

                    Elina Rinne-Luomala

     Safety guide
     How to improve work safety in hazardous areas?

             1. SELECT EQUIPMENT CLEARLY CERTIFIED AS PORTABLE
      • Portable Ex-equipment is designed for
        temporary use in hazardous area

      • ATEX-certificate of such unit should
        clearly state word “Portable”

      • Fixed Ex-lights and Ex-hand lamps do not
        meet the same criteria as portable Ex-lights

      All the CentaurSlam®-units are designed and
      certified for portable use

     2. ONE EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATE FOR ONE PRODUCT
                                                       • One complete certificate for
                                                         whole unit is required

                                                       • Standard: IEC/EN 60079-0 part 13

                                                       • Assembling a unit of separate
                                                         Ex-components alone is not
                                                         enough anymore

                                                       CentaurSlam®-range consists only of
                                                       completely certified equipment

                   3. SECURE EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING IN EX-AREAS
      • Outer metallic parts in hazardous areas are to be bonded

      • Metallic tool may have different charging
        level than the surrounding space

      • Failure of equipotential bonding
        may lead to spark and fatal accident

      CentaurSlam®-units and their accessories
      meet the criteria of equipotential bonding
      in hazardous areas
41

                    4. USE ANTISTATIC MATERIALS IN HAZARDOUS AREAS

   • Plastic parts taken to hazardous
     areas are to be antistatic

   • Protective plastic films and bags
     against dirt are also to be antistatic

   • Non-antistatic materials in hazardous areas
     may lead to spark and fatal accident

   CentaurSlam®-units certified for hazardous
   areas are antistatically treated

                                                                    5. ESTABLISH TEMPORARY EMERGENCY LIGHTING

                                                                                                                        are also to be designated in Ex-areas

                                                                                                                      • Portable Ex-emergency work lights are to be
                                                                                                                        used in such applications

                                                                                                                      • Such units provide safe exit under power
                                                                                                                        failures

                                                                                                                      CentaurSlam® Hornet Emergency is an optimum
                                                                                                                      portable solution for illuminating critical exit points
                                                                                                                      in hazardous area

                                          6. GET RID OF CABLES ON THE FLOOR
